If you are a React Native developer looking to implement a pitch animation or a MIDI visualizer line karaoke feature in your app, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we will explore two different solutions to achieve this functionality.

Solution 1: React Native Animated API

The React Native Animated API provides a powerful way to create complex animations in your app. To implement a pitch animation or MIDI visualizer line karaoke using this API, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new Animated.Value to represent the current pitch or MIDI value.
  2. Use the Animated.Value to drive the animation of a line or any other visual element.
  3. Update the Animated.Value based on the pitch or MIDI values received from the audio input.

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates this approach:


import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import { Animated, View } from 'react-native';

const PitchAnimation = () => {
  const pitchValue = useRef(new Animated.Value(0)).current;

  useEffect(() => {
    // Update pitchValue based on the audio input
    // For example, you can use a library like react-native-audio-recorder-player to get the pitch values

    // Animate the line based on pitchValue
    Animated.timing(pitchValue, {
      toValue: /* calculated pitch value */,
      duration: /* animation duration */,
      useNativeDriver: true,
    }).start();
  }, []);

  return (
    
      
    
  );
};

export default PitchAnimation;
            

Solution 2: React Native SVG

If you prefer using SVG to create your visual elements, you can leverage the React Native SVG library to implement the pitch animation or MIDI visualizer line karaoke feature. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Install the react-native-svg package using npm or yarn.
  2. Create an SVG line element and bind its position to the pitch or MIDI values.
  3. Update the position of the line based on the incoming pitch or MIDI values.

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates this approach:


import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { Line, Svg } from 'react-native-svg';

const PitchAnimation = () => {
  const [pitchValue, setPitchValue] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Update pitchValue based on the audio input
    // For example, you can use a library like react-native-audio-recorder-player to get the pitch values
  }, []);

  return (
    
      
    
  );
};

export default PitchAnimation;
            

These are two different approaches you can take to implement a pitch animation or MIDI visualizer line karaoke feature in your React Native app. Choose the one that suits your needs and start creating amazing audio visualizations!
